Hi,

I've made it !
I'll give more details tomorow.

I had to compile it from source and create the 2 kernels (dom0 and
domU), followed the README to the letter and had to use a initrd and it
worked, I can boot both dom0 and domU from a jailtime image.

I hope this version has fixed the 4GB network data transmission limit in
domU.
